Advocacy

At Mosaic, advocacy is a part of our mission. We advocate for and with people who have disabilities so they may choose appropriate supports, defend their rights and express their opinions. Mosaic advocates find their voices heard locally in their own communities, in statehouses across the land, and in several countries around the world. Mosaic's advocacy efforts include:

  • Broadening the capacity for advocacy at the local, state, national and international level.

  • Participating in numerous coalitions formed to affect public policy.

  • Networking with grassroots advocates to pass legislation affecting the lives of people who have disabilities.

  • Assisting other nonprofit organizations to develop and enhance their supports.

  • Increasing volunteer advocacy participation locally, nationally and globally.

Dream Catchers

At Mosaic in Connecticut we have a self-advocacy group called the Dream Catchers. Learn more about their vision.

Become a Mosaic Allied Voices (MAV) First Responder! MAV First Responders inform elected officials at local, state, and national levels of the needs and rights of people with intellectual and developmental disabilities. MAV First Responders receive action alerts from Mosaic asking them to call, write, or e-mail legislative representatives regarding their votes.

They include parents, self-advocates, donors, advocates for people with disabilities, elected officials and others who want to have a voice in affecting public policy.


Help become a voice and advocate for and with individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities. Sign up to become a MAV volunteer today.
